The Security Service of Ukraine detained a 24-year-old IT specialist from one of the capital's universities, who worked for Russian special services and transmitted real-time data to adjust missile and drone attacks on Kyiv.
According to the investigation, the FSB agent recruited recorded the effects of air strikes and monitored the locations of Ukrainian air defenses. To do this, he rented apartments in high-rise buildings, the addresses of which he received from the curator, and installed video cameras with remote access in the windows.
In this way, the Russians could observe potential targets online during combined attacks on Kyiv, adjust repeated strikes, and try to identify air defense positions.
In addition, the attacker installed similar "video traps" near the railway tracks to record the movements of military echelons of the Defense Forces.
The SBU counterintelligence documented all of the agent's actions and arrested him "red-handed." During a search of the rented apartment, they found a video camera and a phone with evidence of contact with the FSB curator.
The defendant was charged under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - high treason under martial law. He faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
